When I took the ¿Cómo Estás? A2 Kwiz related to this subject, this question below was marked wrong ("feliz" in red), saying my answer should have been "contenta". Since they both refer to being Happy, can you explain why Contenta is better in this sentence?
MARÍA: Venga chicas, ¡ánimo! Yo estoy muy feliz, ¡tengo un trabajo nuevo!
I'm having a tough time knowing when to use the simple past and when to use the imperfect. Could someone walk me through the sentence below and help me understand why we use the different tenses?
Nos alojamos en una casa rural donde no teníamos conexión a internet, pero no era el fin del mundo porque nuestra meta era desconectar y olvidar el estrés.Only the first word is being spoken in this example.
In your explanation above under "careful", the original sense used "acabamos con" but the follow-up explanation used "nos acabamos". Are they interchangeable?
Just wondering if habrías coincidido might be better said as habrías conocido.
Hola,
(Sorry to revert to English!) Would the above sentence still make sense if 'la' was inserted before 'casa'? It would then be consistent with the other similar examples, which would make it easier for me to remember.
Gracias y saludos,
Colin
If I am reading this correctly, you're implying that quien and quienes can also apply to things as well as people. Is that really true? It's my understanding that they can only apply to people.
